Szidonia Gergely is a Hungarian-born, Calgary-based artist and a multi-award-winning tattooist whose passion for art began in childhood.

Teaching herself to draw and paint, she focused on portraits and figurative works that blend traditional, contemporary, and classical influences.

After moving from Hungary to London, Szidonia began experimenting with acrylics between 2015 and 2017, exploring a loose, expressionistic style often inspired by her close friends. This period marked the beginning of her journey toward a unique artistic voice.

Her tattoo career has taken her across the globe, allowing her to work with diverse clients and draw inspiration from a variety of cultures and art forms. Visiting galleries worldwide ignited her interest in oil painting, where she developed a distinct style that harmonizes traditional fine art techniques with modern tattooing.

Now based in Calgary, Canada, Szidonia merges her painting expertise into her tattoo art, creating bold, vibrant, and highly detailed designs. Recognized for her exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision, she continues to push the boundaries of her creativity.
